Wonderful historical reading, very well written. Certainly brought back mamories of my childhood. Takes one from the old concept of 'snake pit' to well run independant city of its own. Truly warm, loving, funny and full of information. It was sad to see this wonderful concept of mental helath care disappear forever.

This is a great book to read if you are interested to see what it was like working at a State Mental Hospital during the late 20's until it closed in 1989. It really puts things in a different perspective, looking through the eyes of the writer who worked there for over 50 yrs, experienced first hand. The photos were great to see what it looked like way back then. I enjoyed the book very much, and I would recommend it.
